Sonja Amelia Koenig is a small-town writer from Essa, ON. Through her collection of poetry and prose, she shares her journey of self-discovery and personal evolution as it spans beyond the last decade of her life. Her work shines a light on her experiences with mental health, love, trauma, heartache and healing.

Growing up as a quiet girl in a small town, writing became her truest form of therapy as she battled suicidal ideations, addiction and eating disorders. It became her saving grace through her many seasons of life, and it became her mission to be not only a storyteller, but a safe haven for individuals who resonate with her own experiences and inner world. 

Sonja believes that mental illness, trauma, grief, and heartache do not discriminate and can touch us all in some capacity. Her hope is to dissolve the notion that we must navigate these complexities alone.

When she is not focused solely on writing, she can be found travelling the world and in the health and wellness space as a Certified Integrative Health Coach, Reik Practitioner, and Wellness Guide. To date, she has hosted events and retreats internationally and continues to strive towards making a positive impact by supporting others on their journey toward happiness and healing.
